  • Momus Black Letts Diary 1979

He’s an Edinburgh youth turning 19 and studying Literature, Psychology and Sociology at Aberdeen Momus University. His father runs a successful language Black Letts Diary college, his mother works for a religious publishing company. Young Nick — a virgin who models his love life, rather unwisely, on the epistolatory 1979 affairs of Franz Kafka — has fallen hopelessly in love with a student at the Glasgow School of Art. His world is defined by Paula, David Bowie, his twitchy halls neighbour Byron, German writers, art, existentialism, Schoenberg and postpunk guitar groups. He reviews bands for the student paper, types short stories and — faithfully every night — tells his black Letts diary about his day. 1979 January 1979 January Monday 1 Tuesday 2 With Father back at the office today, the house was taken to pieces and And so into the bigger, better diary of 1979; more a nightly essay than reassembled under the guise of Spring (!)

Au dernier moment avant de repartir, alors que nous étions déjà tous dans la voiture, nous nous sommes arrêtés, pour prendre de l'essence sûrement, et j'ai demandé à sortir pour aller fûreter rapidement dans le rayon presse du magasin devant lequel nous étions. J'en suis revenu, délesté de 6 francs, avec dans les mains le n° 116 du magazine Best, daté de mars 1978 et donc sorti courant février. Cela faisait sûrement une bonne année que j'avais commencé à m'intéresser sérieusement à la musique, en achetant plus de disques, en écoutant la radio, en en discutant avec les copains, et en leur empruntant disques et revues, mais, à presque quinze ans, c'est la première fois que j'ai acheté en kiosque au moment de sa sortie l'un des deux titres phares de la presse rock de l'époque, Rock & Folk et Best.

  • P of Progressive Rock, and from the from the Exclusiveness of Forebears Like the Velvets and Kraftwerk and Roxy and Bowie
    POST-PUNK POST-PUNK 1979 | POST-PUNK Post-punk has a lousy name. It’s temporally accurate, mostly; and meaningful in that post-punk music generally benefited from the jolt of energy and attitude that briefly was punk, even when it was often made by musicians who’d been at it for years. But punk was mostly musically and culturally discrete, insular and self-constrained. Post-punk, conversely, represented a flourishing of many sounds, myriad scenes, and many styles, all with roots reaching back (garage rock, krautrock, funk, jazz, musique concrete, ska) and branches reaching out and intertwining (hip-hop, disco, Latin musics, dub), all while leaning eagerly forward into the future. In part post-punk was the liberation of “art rock” from the virtuosic grip of progressive rock, and from the from the exclusiveness of forebears like the Velvets and Kraftwerk and Roxy and Bowie. It was to varying degrees the breaking down of barriers between “rock” and non-white musics, always with the risk of appropriation; but mostly created with a sincere attitude of learning and engagement, rather than theft. Women in post-punk were not an oddity, an opening act, but were instead at the very center of its most creative scenes in a way rock music had rarely seen. Certainly post-punk was a rejection of “disco-sucks” and cock-rock meatheadedness, as even its simplest power pop forms generally rejected brute machismo. Post-punk was revolutionary in that it helped expand rock music’s typical access to means of production, and broadened the circle of who could be at the forefront; but it was also evolutionary of rock music’s best possibilities, no an ex nihilo event, and as such was made to last.
